Good day, my my the market was HIGH today. Feeder steers were 5-10 higher and heifers were 15-20 higher and higher than that in spots. Slaughter cattle were 5-10 higher. Had a 1920 lb. bull bring $2.00 a pound this market is unbelievable.

One grade step is worth $14.89/cwt here — about −$51 a head. Across this sale the premium is widest at 300–400 lb. USDA reports each grade on its own line and never publishes the spread.

26 sales

Steers 500–600 lb: high $512.59, low $369.81, median $466.25 across 26 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
